| Summary |
"The Senate Economics References Committee's inquiry into the effectiveness of the Trade Practices Act 1974 ('the Act') in protecting small business is the latest in a long series of government and parliamentary inquries into the operation of this Act...An issue which has been raised during many of these inquiries is the question of whether the Act should seek to protect competition or competitors. The Committee considers that the Act can best protect competition by maintaining a range of competitors, who should rise and fall in accordance with the results of competitive rather than anticompetitive conduct. This means that the Act should protect businesses (large or small) against anticompetitive conduct, and it should not be amended to protect competitors against competitive conduct. This inquiry considered how well the Act achieves this goal." -- p. xi |
